A Call for Dan DiDio Questions

Time to hit us with your questions for DC Universe Executive Editor Dan DiDio.

So what are you looking to have answered? Ask away below.

Some notes on how to get your question selected:

1) Make sure it’s something Dan can answer. As he’s said many times,
he’s not out to spoil stories (and yes, we still do get questions
asking about the status quo afterBlackest Night
- seriously), and he is chiefly concerned and tasked with making sure
the content of the books is there, month-in, month-out. He can’t talk
officially about collections or larger DC policy or business topics -
including animation, television and film. And if you’re wondering, yes,
he does wish comics were cheaper too – and that’s about the extent he
can go into it.

2) Be objective – or as objective as you can. Dial down the sense of
entitlement and fan outrage as best as you can, too. Yes, we all feel
it, but pull it back. Along those lines, don’t ask a question which
makes the subject have to agree with your assessment of a project in
order to answer. An example: “Given the utter failure on every level of
_____, do you think that...?”

3) Don’t do the “Have you stopped beating your wife” type questions.

4) You may want to review the last couple of installments, as we’ve
gotten questions from angry fans claiming their questions never get
answered that are actually repeats of things Dan has already talked
about - in some cases, talked about many times.

5) Have fun - think of this as a convention panel. Get him going, and
he's more than likely to say more than he means to - and then, we all
win.

Other than that, have at it. We'll have the answers up next Wednesday, or as best we can manage.
